GOP Senate candidate shreds Dem opponent for not doing more to hold Biden-Harris admin accountable

A Republican Senate hopeful for Nevada slammed his Democrat opponent for not providing “pushback” and “accountability” of the Biden-Harris administration.

War veteran and Nevada Senate candidate Sam Brown spoke with Fox News Digital at an event with Republican Sen. John Kennedy in Las Vegas, criticizing incumbent Dem. Sen. Jacky Rosen and pointing out how voters in the swing state have suffered under Democrats and the current administration.

“The number one issue that folks have been worried about for the last couple of years has been the economy and how this Biden-Harris economy has put so much pressure on individuals, on families,” said Brown, who was seriously injured from an IED explosion while deployed in Afghanistan in 2008.

“For instance, the average Nevada family’s paying $1,200 more a month now than they were four years ago. When you’ve got seniors who are having to leave the dignity of retirement to go pick up a job because they can’t make ends meet. They can’t pay their rent. When you’ve got moms and dads who are skipping meals so that their kids can eat, that’s not right. It’s not fair to Nevadans,” he said.

“The number two issue is this border crisis,” Brown continued.

“Vice President Harris was the border czar, she allowed this crisis to happen, and Senator Rosen sits on the Homeland Security Committee. She should be providing accountability. Should be providing leadership and pushback against an administration that has allowed, we now know, over 400,000 convicted criminals into this country, and she has done nothing, in fact, only visited the border one time. And that’s unacceptable. As someone who comes out of the military. Leadership is about being in the front, representing your people, their concerns and accomplishing the mission,” he pointed out.

Kennedy, who is campaigning for Brown, called the combat veteran a “rock star.”

“He’s a beast. He’s what cool looks like. We need him in the United States Senate,” he told Fox News Digital. “The people of Nevada need him and they deserve him. The people of Nevada deserve the right to go to the grocery store without having to first sell blood plasma so they can afford it and Sam’s going to help us fix that.”

“The people of Nevada deserve to be able to pay their rent or pay their mortgage without first having to cash in on their retirement account and Sam’s going to help us fix that in Washington. The people of Nevada deserve to be able to retire before they’re 94, for God’s sakes. And when they retire, they ought to be able to live in dignity. They shouldn’t have to live in a tent behind Outback and eat cat food and that’s a direct result of that problem I just described as a direct result of inflation caused by the Democrats who’ve been in control the last four years,” Kennedy continued.

Brown emphasized how Nevada will play a key role as a “battleground state” come November.

“When we win this race, we’ll take the majority. When President Trump wins, he’ll be in the White House. Folks are fired up because they need change. They’re desperate for change and Jacky Rosen, as senator, she’s been running from the people while I’m running for them,” he said.

Kennedy conceded that the presidential contest would be “close” in Nevada but had confidence in Brown’s ability to be a “great senator.”

“I mean, the guy’s a war hero, West Point graduate, SMU business school graduate, he’s been a businessman, he’s a good dad, he’s a good husband, he’s whip-smart,” he told Fox News Digital. “You get between Sam Brown and what’s best for Nevada. He’ll devour you like a light snack, man.”

“Back home in Louisiana, we say he’s tough as a $3 steak and the people in Nevada need him and they deserve him. They’ve been through a lot. This bunch in Washington, D.C., their entire plan for the last four years, the Democrats, has been let’s do the worst thing possible that won’t work. They screwed this economy up so badly,” Kennedy said.

“The American people have been gutted like a fish because of this inflation and we’re going to fix it,” he added. “And Sam Brown will help lead the charge.”
